Khaberni - The Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Supply reduced the selling price of standardized wheat flour produced by private sector mills and Al-Jweideh mill for the current October, by an amount of 1.205 dinars per ton, making its price 171.587 dinars per ton instead of 172.792 dinars in September.
According to Decision No. 109 of 2025, the ministry reduced the selling price of wheat for all mills of the kingdom for withdrawals according to the allocation determined for them by the Directorate of Inventory Management by 0.939 dinars to make the price per ton 139.446 dinars instead of 140.385 dinars last month.
The decision mandates that mills comply with supplying all the bakeries' flour needs according to the bakeries accredited to them, provided that the mills revisit the Directorate of Inventory Management to approve their allocations. Otherwise, the price of wheat will be set according to the second clause of the ministry's decision at 252 dinars per ton for wheat quantities drawn and milled in excess of the defined allocation for the mill or any unapproved sales by the Directorate of Inventory Management.
The decision includes setting the extraction rate of standardized flour at 78 percent and the bran extraction rate at 22 percent, and setting the extraction rates of other types of flour according to the standard specification.
The ministry makes the monthly pricing decision, based on the Cabinet decisions related to the liberalization of flour prices and pricing of bread, and the Cabinet's 2019 decision to reduce the price of standardized flour by 10 dinars starting from the first of February 2019, provided that the price of standardized flour is adjusted whenever there are changes in fuel prices or other variables.
The government has fixed bread prices since 2018 at 32 piastres for "large Kmej" bread, 40 piastres for "small Kmej", and 35 piastres for Taboon bread, Mashrouh, Rose, or Manakish.
The selling price of standardized wheat flour does not affect the selling cost of bread to the consumer, and is part of the monthly review conducted by the ministry to equate the cost of producing bread in light of monthly fuel price adjustments, where the price of flour is raised if the price of diesel is lowered and vice versa.
Jordan consumes about 90,000 tons of wheat monthly and 52,000 tons of standardized flour designated for bread production, where the ministry continuously issues tenders to purchase additional quantities to enhance the stockpile to cover market needs locally.
